The SoftFixTM Balloon Trocar have application in a variety of endoscopic procedures to provide a port of entry for endoscopic instruments into the body cavity of patients.
The SoftFix™ Balloon Trocar is a series of sterile and single-use Trocar intended to be included as an extension to the previously cleared Unimax Trocar Series.
In general, the Trocars from Unimax Trocar Series consist of an Obturator and a Cannula containing a seal system. The Obturator is used to place the cannula through the incision site into the patient's body cavity where the Cannula remains anchored at a desired position. For that anchoring purpose, previously cleared Trocars belonging to the Unimax Trocar Series are equipped with threaded Cannulas or Cannulas with a movable bolster. As a series extension, the Cannulas belonging to the SoftFix™ Balloon Trocars are now available with an inflatable balloon and a manually movable bolster to provide stabilization and minimize the fascial trauma during an endoscopic procedure. Whereas these Cannulas are also designed to be compatible with the Obturators belonging to the previously cleared Trocars from the Unimax Trocar Series. The balloon and movable bolster combination on the cannula come with two options;
- a) "SoftFix™ Balloon Fixation Ring" combination
- b) "SoftFix™ Balloon Fixation Cone" combination
Similar to Cannulas of the Trocars from the Unimax Trocar Series, each Cannula of the SoftFix™ Balloon Trocars is a combination of a sleeve and a housing, fitted with a pair of seal and valve to maintain pneumoperitoneum when the Obturator or other laparoscopic devices are inserted or withdrawn through it during the surgical procedures. The Cannula also contains a stopcock with rotation valve at its proximal end in order to allow or prevent passage of any insufflation gas (e.g. CO2), when needed. Near the stopcock, the Cannula contains an inflation port to inflate/deflate the balloon using a standard syringe. While the movable "fixation ring" can be slid down the Cannula sleeve to adjust its height as well as fixing the Cannula at a desired position, the height of the "fixation cone" can be adjusted by pressing the thumb notch present on it and the Cannula can be anchored at the desired position by affixing fascial sutures on the struts present near the thumb notch.

The document mentions "a series of in vitro and in vivo preclinical physical, mechanical and biocompatibility tests" but does not specify the sample sizes used for these test sets. The data provenance is generally "bench testing" and "in vitro and in vivo preclinical tests," which are types of lab or animal studies, not human clinical trial data. There's no indication of country of origin for the internal testing data, but the submitter's address is in Taipei, Taiwan. The studies were prospective in the sense that they were conducted specifically to support this 510(k) submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not provided in the document. For non-clinical tests on a medical device like this, ground truth is typically established against engineering specifications, material standards, and biological safety standards (like ISO 10993). It is not usually established by human expert consensus in the way it would be for an AI diagnostic tool.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This is not applicable as the tests are non-clinical and objective, based on measurements against predefined criteria and standards rather than human interpretation requiring adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size
No, a MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI image analysis or diagnostic tools, not for a physical specimen retrieval system. Therefore, an effect size of human improvement with AI assistance is not relevant.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study Was Done
No, a standalone algorithm study was not done. This device is a physical surgical tool and does not involve an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for the non-clinical tests (physical, mechanical, biocompatibility) would be based on established engineering specifications, material science standards, and accepted biological safety standards (e.g., ISO 10993). For instance, a tensile strength test would have a pre-defined ground truth for the minimum acceptable strength. Biocompatibility would be evaluated against the absence of adverse biological reactions as defined by ISO standards.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML system that requires a "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable. (See point 8).
